water for her childe And fil'd her bottle to the brink And gave her sonne thereof to drink But now when Jshmael did flout Abram's faith and Isaac's hope And Hagar did cast Isaac out The Serpent did provide a rope To strangle love and hatred send To bring true love unto his end Hate would not wait for a command And malice would be nothing slack For she did take him by the hand And lay a tree upon his back And made him bring it to the place Where hatred would true love disgrace She nailed him fast hand and foot Vnto the tree which he had born For to complain it was no boot Thus he was made an open skorn And gainst all nature law and grace She mock't her sonne ev'n to his face She thought he was the most accurst And at his torments she did wink When pangs of death did make him thirst She gave him Vineger to drink VVhich done he yeeled up his breath And dying he did vanquish death Herode and Pilate did consent They did agree upon one day Isaac and Jacob to prevent But guiltlesse Isaac first to slay Then scatter Iacob by their might To take away his lawfull right VVhen Jshmael had Isaac slain He thought to lock him in the grave But Isaac did come forth again And made proud Ishmael deaths slave And bound him fast in mortall bands Till he be slain by Isaac's hands VVhen Herode heard he rose again Edom his maliee did renue And Jsaac's males he would have slain For hopefull James this tyrant slue And faithfull Peter kept in bands To murder him by cruell hands VVhen he escaped Edom's rage And that Gods Angell set him free Then Jshmael came on the stage To act his cruell tragedie And faithfull Peter did deride For to cut off the Christian guide When faith and hope had lost their right The Serpent did through malice move These tyrants both with all their might To murder and to vanquish love That Ishm'el might for Isaac reigne And Esau Jacobs blessing gain Then John they catcht within their claws On him their tortures they did prove Love pluck't him out the Lyons jaws For malice could not murder love Love had before his life laid down For Jsaac's promise Iacob's crown VVhen Isaac shall come down again His childeren for to advance That they with him might live and reigne In Canaans inheritance Then Jshmael shall play his part That he may have his due desert For Pilate then shall work his will By his edicts and tyranny The Males in Galile to kill Or bring them into slavery That Jsaac comming there may see All boued again what he set free But then Rebecca shall complain To Herode of this open wrong This is the land where thou dost reigne VVhy dost thou suffer him so long My Males be slain by Pilate's hand Where thou dost rule bear command Herode shall give her good content And say I will thy Males set free And Pilate's malice will prevent If thou wilt vow and swear to me Never to injure me nor mine Then will I stand for thee and thine And thus Rebecca to get free And be releast from Jshm'els bands Shall enter into slaverie She and her Males in Edom's hands That when as Isaac comes in fight They all shall lose their lawfull right For when as Isaac shall appeare Her love and constancy to try She will not then of Isaac heare But flatly shall her man denye Then Bashemath and Edom stout Shall thrust both her and Iacob out When Edom hath by cruellty Got Iacobs birthright for to reigne He then shall think as subtlely His blessing likewise to obtayne But when this thing shall come about Jsaac will feel and smell him out For though he once deceived was And cast his first-born out the nest Yet God did bring it so to pas He blest him whom God would have blest Which Jsaac soone did understand To be the work of Gods own hand When Edom subtlely therefore Shall come unto his father first Isaac shall turn him out a dore And curse him whom God will have curst The blessing shall on Jacob rest He blessed him he must be blest But when as Edom bould and stout Hath by a strong and cruell hand Thrust Iacob and Rebecca out For to possesse their native land Then shall the Iew come in again Which hath so long liv'd in disdain For then the Lord he will awake And unto his remembrance call The covenante which he did make With Abraham and Sarah shall Conceive and beare that promis'd seed Which on the Serpents head shall tread His judgments shall be just and pure And he shall reigne from Sea to Sea So long as Sun and Moon endure In glory strength and majesty The Kings to him shall bring their store All Kings I say shall him adore Then Sarahs love shall not be vain Though she did offer up that Lambe For she shall then come in again Her constant love to Abraham In all her troubles then shall win The love of God to bring her in If then Rebecca do the same VVhen like temptations provoke She shall again come out of blame And Iacob cast off Esau's yoak So he do not his promise break Which unto Laban he did make VVhen Sarahs time is come to bear That she delivered shall be Then cruell Pharaoh shall appear He shall arise out of the sea And come again upon the earth To kill this childe ev'n at his birth But God attending to her cry VVhen she is ready for to bear Shall with his power stand her by And free her from the Dragon's fear And take her sonne up to his thronc For he must reigne and rule alone For her he shall prepare a way Into the wildernesse to flie Lest that the Dragon should her slay And shew on her his tyranny There shall she learn to know his waies Thousand two hundred threescore daies There shall she learn to live in aw And from her God no more depart For there the Lord will write his law Within the tables of her heart All shall his holy name confesse Ev'n from the greater to the lesse Then shall those witnesses appear Which were with Jesus in the mount To bring the world in servile fear And call them to their last account For murder theft adultery And all their other cruelty If any man will do them wrong Then fire out of their mouthes shall go They shall be powerfull and strong To work their adversaries wo And Moses Rod which once did bud Shall turn the waters into bloud And sundry plagues bring on the earth If they their prophesie disdain Eliah he shall bring a dearth Vpon the world for want of rain And so their enemies shall kill Till they their prophesie fulfill But when their prophesie is done Then Ishmael and Edom stout Their strength shall both combine in one To cast these holy Prophets out These witnesses shall then be slain And then the world shall laugh

again But as these witnesses before Came down with God to testifie That Love which he had kept in store His onely Sonne which came to die Gods wrath and justice to appease And all mankinde from death release So then they shall go up again When all this wickednesse is done And unto God they shall complain For they shall witnesse with the Sonne And call for justice at Gods hand For breach of every command The n God in wrath and great disdain When he doth hear their plaint and moan VVill send his Sonne yet once again To overthrow the Serpents throne And Jacob's seed for to advance In Canaans inheritance Then all the soules of holy men Which do under the Altar lie Even all the Chikens with the Hen Which now to God for vengeance cry Shall then behold sinnes overthrow When the seventh trumpet gins to blow The seventh seal shall be then undone Then earthly men shall all despair The seventh plague then shall light upon The Prince that ruleth in the aire Then Loves revenge shall surely come For God will be no longer dome The Serpents throne he will divide And rend his kingdome into three And over throw all tyrants pride All Aegypts bands and slaverie Sodoms foul sin and Babels jar And make an end of bloudy war He shall to Edom come in white As he him once to Pilate sent And Edom shall condemne by right T is then too late for to repent He will him not to Pilate send That Pilate should his quarrel end For Edom must lay down his life For murder done by him before Then lying with his fathers wife To make his mother play the whore Such facts Gods wrath they do procure And justice can them not endure From Edom he shall go in red As Hagar did him once attire And set a crown on Ishm'els head Of pricking thornes then flaming fire Shall burn and lay all under foot And leave them neither branch nor root Yet shall his bloud be justly shed The law will take away his life He did defile his fathers bed And made a harlot of his wife Injustly then when this was done Did crucifie Gods onely sonne Then Hagars spite and foul disdain Her gould shall then appear but drosse He shall reward her for her pain Whom she doth still mock on the crosse And cast out Hagar and her sonne For all the spite that they have done The Winepresse he shall tread in red And with a massie rod of steel Shall break in twain the Serpents head Because that he hath bruis'd his heel The cup is full up to the brink And bloud for bloud shall be his drink Proud Egypt shall be drown'd in bloud When Israel shall be set free They shall not know where Babel stood For they shall all in one agree And Sodoms sinne and foul desire Shall vanquish't be in flaming fire Then shall he plant his dwelling place Vpon the top of mountains high That nations may see his grace His glory and his majesty And all may come with one accord Vnto the mountain of the Lord. That they may learn to live in aw And be instructed of the Lord From Sion shall go forth his law And from Jerusalem his word For he shall judge in truth and right And men shall learn no more to fight Their swords and spears they then shall break And shall not use them any more But shall them sithes and mattocks make To dresse the earth and bring in store That men may reap the earths encrease And live in perfect joy and peace The wolf shall with the lambe then dwell The leopard lye with the kid The calf feed with the lyon fell A little childe shall them forbid The bear and cow together eat Their young ones lying at their feet No Asp no Cocatrice annoy Vpon the mountain of the Lord There shall be nothing to destroy But all shall then obey his word By justice he shall rule and sway And with his lips the wicked slay For when this trumpet ' gins to blow Christs kingdome then is at the door For he himself on earth shall show To save the needy and the poor The widow and the fatherlesse To succour in their great distresse All prophesies be then fulfil'd All shadows ended gone and vain That Lamb which once on earth was kil'd Shall then come down on earth to reigne He bought his kingdome with his life And won it with an endlesse strife He dide that man might ever live He strove to bring in endlesse peace Because the earth again might give Her fatnesse and her full encrease Her children all alike to nurse When he had tane away the curse The poor in heart he will sustein The mourners shall be comforted The meek with him on earth shall reigne The hungry soul it shall be fed The mercifull shall mercy gain For mercy then they shall obtain The pure in heart shall God behold Peace-makers shall his children be Such as unjustly be control'd Shall in his kingdome be made free Such as men now do most disdain Shall with him in his kingdome reigne The rich he will not once respect Such as rejoyce shall mourn and cry The haughty minde he will reject The glutton shall for hunger die He which no mercy had in store Shall mercilesse be judg'd therefore The unclean shall not see his face Peace-breakers peace shall never finde Such as do persecute and chase Shall be rewarded in their kinde And such as do revile and hate Shall never come within his gate This King is righteous and true In all his combates he shall thrive And shall his enemy pursue Vntill he take the Beast alive And apprehend his learned Clark Which makes most men receive his mark Also his image to adore And at his greatnesse to admire Them will he cast alive therefore Into a lake of burning fire A sword shall out his mouth proceed Which all the rest shall make to bleed They shall be justly judg'd to die Their sentence shall come from above Distrust despaire and cruelty The breach of faith of hope and love Shall them to endlesse torments bring Then men Hallelu-jah shall sing Then the old Serpent which did crave When he had slain the worlds pure light To have a stone laid on his grave That none should take him out by night And have him lock't and sealed in Before his Sabbath did begin Shall then be chained at the last And cast into a groundlesse pit The door upon him sealed fast That he shall not come out of it The world to cumber nor molest While Christ is taking of his rest Then shall there be no more complaints No anguish sorrow grief nor pain God will give judgement to his Saints And they a thousand years shall reigne VVith him in perfect joy and peace Before the Serpent he release When thousand years be come about He shall be losed in his gail Then the old Serpent shall come out And in the world shall much prevail And Gog and Magog shall combine To execute his last designe And like the sand upon the shore In multitudes they shall come down To make the Saints appear no more But God will at their malice frown And burning fire from heav'n shall send To bring them all unto their end The Serpent which did them beget And drew them unto his desire Shall then be taken in the net And cast into the lake of fire To be tormented evermore With them that were cast in before There shall they ever scorch and senge In endlesse torments never die And love shall have his full revenge On them for all their cruelty Then Loves reward shall come to his When they shall see him as he is For then the judgement shall appear And all shall rise both great and small Each one shall then his sentence hear For they shall then be judged all And death and hell which did aspire Shall go into the lake of fire Then shall come in mans perfect joy And sorrows then shall have an end None shall be left for to annoy Jerusalem shall then descend That blessed Bride from God shall come Trim'd and adorned for her grome He then shall end her dolefull cries Release her from
